This was followed by a special message from Mr. George Hoyt, who encouraged students to value teamwork through a symbolic “pinky chain” activity. The session continued with a thank-you message from C/Officer Jeffrey Aldas, an interactive question-and-answer segment, and a student activity game. An awarding ceremony recognized participants, and the program concluded with closing remarks from Ms. Elizabeth F. Ariola, followed by a photo opportunity and a video of student reflections.
